Today we’re sharing that Flux has raised $37M in additional funding to keep pushing on our mission: to take the hard out of hardware!
I’m proud of this team and grateful to the builders who’ve stuck with us, sent feedback, and challenged us to make Flux better
If you’ve ever shared a design, reported an issue, or told us what we could do better: thank you 🙏
Let’s build!
Today, we’re excited to share that Flux has raised $37M in new funding, including a $27M Series B led by @8VC, with participation from @BainCapVC, @Liquid2V, and @OutsidersFund.
To the Flux community: we couldn’t have done this without you! Your projects and feedback shape what we build.
As a designer, AI agents have transformed my workflow. Coding, design... it's different now, for all of us. Except hardware. Today, @BuildWithFlux is changing that.
The first AI hardware engineering intern is here. ⚡️
Until now, Flux could handle one-off tasks; add a part here, wire a trace there.
Now, it can plan, decide, and execute full design cycles. Researching parts, wiring schematics, placing, routing, and checking as it goes.
Think of Flux as a capable intern: fast, explainable, and eager to learn, but still needs your guidance and review.
Welcome to the new era of hardware design.
GPT-5 is now in Flux 🚀 — early beta!
Open a project → select “Next-gen” from the model picker → ask it something ambitious.
We wired this up over the weekend, and it’s already delivering sharper reviews, smarter fixes, better plans. Push it. Break it. Tell us where it shines. https://t.co/Wc7RAjRkgq
🚀 The latest Copilot update is here! It’s not just smarter—it’s hands-on. Place components, refine designs, and apply bulk edits instantly.

AI agents for hardware design? Yes, it’s real.
Flux Copilot can now actively place parts, wire circuits, and optimize your designs—just by telling it what you need.
Here’s what’s new 🧵👇
AI can now route your PCB for you! 🧑🚀
Today, we're launching a preview of the next major leap towards full Auto-Layout, a goal we've been working towards at Flux since day one.
Unlike traditional auto-routers, which can be clunky and hard to configure, our AI delivers clean, human-like routing with minimal setup. 🧵
